Mauna Loa is the largest volcano in the world (in terms of its area and volume). Like all Hawaiian volcanoes, Mauna Loa was created as the Pacific tectonic plate moved over the Hawaii hotspot in the Earth's underlying mantle. El 31 de diciembre de 1840 iniciaron el montaje de la casa de péndulo prefabricada. Se identificaron claramente a dos ciclos, con una duración de 1500-2000 años. Its total height is nearly 33,500 feet (10,211 meters), considerably higher than the height of the tallest mountain on land, Mount Everest (Chomolungma in Tibetan) in the Himalayas, which is 29,029 feet (8,848 meters) above sea level. Grass had to be painstakingly brought from the lowest elevations for insulation to get accurate measurements. [74] This trail, arriving at the summit from the east via Red Hill, became the preferred route due to its easier access and gentler slope. [77]​, La mañana siguiente no pudieron iniciar un fuego mediante fricción debido al aire enrarecido a esa altura, y enviaran un hombre a traer cerillas. Ken Rubin & Rochelle Minicola (7 de marzo de 2007). At 60 miles long and 30 miles wide, it makes up half of the entire island.

Por lo general, comienzan con la aparición de fuentes de lava sobre una distancia de varios kilómetros a lo largo de una ruptura, coloquialmente conocida como «cortina de fuego» (que a menudo, pero no siempre, se propagan desde la cumbre del Mauna Loa)[25]​ para finalmente concentrarse en un solo respiradero o chimenea, el centro eruptivo a largo plazo. How big is Mauna Loa? [74][75], James Cook's third voyage was the first to make landfall on Hawaiʻi island, in 1778, and following adventures along the North American west coast Cook returned to the island in 1779. [60], A potentially greater hazard at Mauna Loa is a sudden, massive collapse of the volcano's flanks, like the one that struck the volcano's west flank between 100,000 and 200,000 years ago and formed the present-day Kealakekua Bay. Forman una terraza contra la cual los flujos más recientes se toparon, muy erosionada y rajada en su inclinación; se cree que esto fue el resultado de un período de erosión debido a un cambio en la dirección del flujo de lava causado por el desplome prehistórico del volcán. La mayoría de estos relatos coinciden en que la deidad del volcán hawaiano, Pele, reside en el cráter Halemaʻumaʻu en el Kilauea; Sin embargo algunos mencionan que reside en Mokuaweoweo, la caldera del Mauna Lao, y en términos generales el mito asocia la deidad con toda la actividad volcánica en la isla. [8] Unlike Mauna Kea, on which extensive evidence of glaciation remains even today,[34] Mauna Loa was at the time and has remained active, having grown an additional 150 to 300 m (492 to 984 ft) in height since then and covering any glacial deposits beneath new flows; strata of that age doesn't occur until at least 2,000 m (6,562 ft) down from the volcano's summit, too low for glacial growth. [58]​, Un riesgo mucho mayor que pone el Mauna Loa es un repentino colapso masivo de los flancos del volcán, como el colapso del flanco oeste del volcán hace 100.000 a 200.000 años que creó la bahía de Kealakekua. [57]​ Sin embargo, existen excepciones; La erupción de 1950 del Mauna Loa emitió en tres semanas un volumen de lava tan grande como la erupción actual del Kilauea produce en tres años, y alcanzó el nivel del mar dentro de las cuatro horas de su inicio, afectando el pueblo de Hoʻokena Mauka y una importante carretera de la isla. Eventually, the eruption ceased on its own. There is very little movement there today, a consequence of the volcano's geometry. [12] Lōʻihi Seamount on the island's flank is even younger, but has yet to breach the surface of the Pacific Ocean. On December 14 he hired about 200 porters, but after he left he realized only about half the equipment had been taken, so he had to hire more Hawaiians at higher pay. Monte Merapi • [46]​ Los flujos de lava alcanzaron el pueblo de Hoʻokena-mauka en el sur del distrito de Kona, cruzaron la carretera periférica 11, y alcanzaron el océano dentro de cuatro horas de la erupción, y aunque no hubo víctimas mortales, el pueblo fue totalmente destruido. Tardaron otros tres días para ajustar el reloj y comenzar los experimentos. Cuando, después de dos días, llegaron a Kilauea, el guía Puhano se dirigió en la dirección del sendero establecido de ʻAinapo. Mauna Loa means 'long mountain' in the Hawaiian language. One of these trails, the Ainapo Trail, ascended from the village of Kapāpala over 3,400 m (11,155 ft) in about 56 km (35 mi) and ended at Mokuʻāweoweo at Mauna Loa's summit. The history finds out that Mauna Loa is the large volcano on earth. Douglas collected biological samples on the way both up and down, and after a difficult and distressing descent began collating his samples; he planned to return to England, but instead several months later his body was discovered mysteriously crushed in a pit beside a dead wild boar[77], Isidor Löwenstern successfully climbed Mauna Loa in February 1839, only the third successful climb in 60 years. Mauna Loa, the largest active volcano on Earth, rises about 4,170 m (13,680 ft) above the Pacific Ocean. Wilkes did not want to head back downhill so he blazed his own way through dense forest directed by a compass. [7]​ Los volcanes de las islas de Hawái solo forman la manifestación más reciente de este proceso que, a lo largo de 70 millones de años, creó la cadena de montes submarinos Hawái-Emperador con una longitud total de 6000 km. La lenta deriva de la placa del Pacífico llevará el Mauna Loa fuera del punto caliente dentro de 500 000 a 1 millón de años, en cuyo momento el volcán se extinguirá. Wilkes no quería regresar cuesta abajo, por lo que abrió un camino a través de un denso bosque, orientándose con una brújula. [76] The feat of summitting Mauna Loa was not to be repeated for forty years. Gran parte del resto del volcán fue clasificado como «nivel 3» en la escala de riesgo; alrededor de 15 % a 20 % del área se vio afectado por flujos de lava en los últimos 750 años. That night (December 23), the snow on the canvas roof caused it to collapse. [45] An eruption in 1868 occurred alongside the enormous 1868 Hawaii earthquake,[36] a magnitude eight event that claimed 77 lives and remains the largest earthquake ever to hit the island. [26] These rift zones are deeply set structures, driven by dike intrusions along a decollement fault that is believed to reach down all the way to the volcano's base, 12 to 14 km (7 to 9 mi) deep. Se vieron envueltos en una tormenta de nieve, y varios sufrieron del mal de altura. [15], Following the pattern of Hawaiian volcano formation, Mauna Loa would have started as a submarine volcano, gradually building itself up through underwater eruptions of alkali basalt before emerging from the sea through a series of surtseyan eruptions[16] about 400,000 years ago. He was surprised to find heavy snow and morning temperatures of −3 °C (27 °F), and was unable to compare the heights of Mauna Loa and Kea but correctly supposed the latter to be taller based on its larger snow cap. In 1916 Mokuʻāweoweo was included in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and a new trail was built directly from park headquarters at Kīlauea, an even more direct route than the one taken by Wilkes. Their tent was pitched within 60 feet (18 m) of the crater's edge, secured by lava blocks. [45] Further eruptions occurred in 1879 and then twice in 1880,[41] the latter of which extended into 1881 and came within the present boundaries of the island's largest city, Hilo; however, at the time, the settlement was a shore-side village located further down the volcano's slope, and so was unaffected. Mauna Loa, world's largest mountain and volcano, is a archetype of a basaltic shield volcano in its late mature stage of life, and only about 600,000-1,000,000 years old. Desde la creación del observatorio se mantuvieron estaciones sísmicas en Hawái, pero éstas se concentraron principalmente en el Kilauea, y la cobertura del Mauna Loa solo mejoró gradualmente durante el siglo XX. Its total volume is estimated at 18,000 cubic miles. Mauna Loa, or 'Long Mountain' in Hawaiian, is located on the island of Hawaii. [84]​ [79] In September 1840 they arrived in Honolulu, where repairs to the ships took longer than expected. [77]​ El 24 de julio de 1974, el campamento fue incluido en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos en la página 74000295,[78]​ y es también un sitio histórico estatal con número de registro 10-52-5507. En febrero de 1794, Menzies hizo un tercer intento de ascender a la cumbre del Mauna Loa. No obstante, su proximidad ha dado lugar a una tendencia histórica en la que una alta actividad en un volcán suele coincidir con una baja actividad en el otro. Because of the potential hazards it poses to population centers, Mauna Loa is part of the Decade Volcanoes program, which encourages studies of the world's most dangerous volcanoes. Based on this classification Mauna Loa's continuously active summit caldera and rift zones have been given a level one designation. Mauna Loa covers 2,035 square miles (5,271 sq km) and has erupted between 15,600 to 19,200 cubic miles (65,000 to 80,000 cubic km) of lava that has turned into solid rock. However, it rumbled to life again in 1984, manifesting first at Mauna Loa's summit, and then producing a narrow, channelized 'a'a flow that advanced downslope within 6 km (4 mi) of Hilo, close enough to illuminate the city at nighttime. One of the largest single mountain masses in the world, Mauna Loa (meaning “Long Mountain” in Hawaiian) rises to 13,677 feet (4,169 metres) above sea level and constitutes half of the island’s area. Investigaciones submarinas revelaron numerosos deslizamientos a lo largo de la cadena de Hawái, así como evidencia de dos eventos de tsunamis gigantes: Hace 200.000 años, Molokaʻi fue afectado por un tsunami con una altura de 75 m, y hace 100.000 años, un megatsunami de 325 m de altura golpeó la isla de Lanaʻi. From its location well above local human-generated influences, the MLO monitors the global atmosphere, including the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. They form a terrace against which younger flows have since banked, heavily eroded and incised against its slope in terms of direction; this is believed to be the result of a period of erosion because of a change in the direction of lava flow caused by the volcano's prehistoric slump. Mientras tanto, los oficiales de la marina y los hawaianos no pudieron lograr un acuerdo sobre los términos para contratar porteros, por lo que se mandaron marineros e infantes de marina desde los barcos. The GPS network is the most durable and wide-ranging of the three systems, while the tiltmeters provide the most sensitive predictive data, but are prone to erroneous results unrelated to actual ground deformation; nonetheless a survey line across the caldera measured a 76 mm (3 in) increase in its width over the year preceding the 1975 eruption, and a similar increase in 1984 eruption. Otro de los hombres de Cook, el teniente James King del HMS Resolution, estimó la altitud del volcán en al menos 5600 metros basándose en su línea de nieve. El Array for Microwave Background Anisotropy (AMIBA) comenzó sus exploraciones del origen del universo desde octubre de 2006. When they reached Kīlauea after two days, their guide Puhano headed off to the established ʻAinapō Trail. Their age roughly corresponding with the glaciation of Mauna Loa during the last ice age, raising the distinct possibility that it is the product of phreatomagmatic interaction between the long-gone glaciers and Mauna Loa's eruptive activities. [25]​ El primero es una ruptura de 60 km con orientación hacia el suroeste, de la caldera al mar, continuando sobre unos 40 km bajo el agua, con un cambio direccional notable de 40° a lo largo de su longitud; esta zona de ruptura fue históricamente activa sobre la mayor parte de su extensión. [61]​ Thomas A. Jaggar, el fundador del observatorio, intentó una expedición a la cumbre del volcán para observar la erupción de 1914, pero fue se vio obstruido por la ardua caminata requerida (ver Primeras ascenciones europeas). Occurring during an enforced nighttime blackout on the island, the eruption's luminosity forced the government to issue a gag order on the local press, hoping to prevent news of its occurrence spreading, for fear that the Japanese would use it to launch a bombing run on the island. [47]​ Después de un evento en 1933, la erupción de 1935 provocó una crisis pública cuando flujos de lava del Mauna Loa comenzaron a dirigirse hacia Hilo. Fue creada entre hace 1000 y 1500 años por una gran erupción de la zona de ruptura noreste del Mauna Loa que vació una cámara magmática poco profunda debajo de la cumbre y se derrumbó en su forma actual. Creó un problema único ya que se produjo durante el oscurecimiento obligatorio de la isla; la luminosidad de la erupción obligó al gobierno a emitir un embargo de noticias para la prensa local, con la esperanza de evitar que los japoneses se dieron cuenta del evento y lo utilizarían para lanzar una campaña de bombardeo nocturno en la isla. When measured from its base on the bottom of the ocean, Mauna Loa rises an impressive 30,077 feet (9167 meters), making it second to nearby Mauna Kea Volcano (33,476 feet/10,204 meters) as the tallest mountain in the world from base to summit. En las elevaciones más altas, la cantidad de precipitación disminuye, y el cielo suele ser claro. Significativamente mejor preparados, Menzies, el teniente Joseph Baker y el guardiamarina George McKenzie del HMS Discovery, y un siervo (probablemente Jonathan Ewins), llegaron a la cumbre, que Menzies estimó en 4156 msnm con la ayuda de un barómetro (consistente con la altitud actual de 4169 msnm). The volcano is currently being monitored at all times for any unrest that it may show. [46]​ Los flujos de lava de una erupción anterior, en 1926, invadió el pueblo de Hoʻopuloa Makai,[47]​ y Hilo, en parte construida sobre la lava de la erupción de 1880-1881, está en riesgo de futuras erupciones. [8]​ La opinión predominante, aunque no unánime, es que el punto caliente se mantuvo estacionario en el manto terrestre durante gran parte de, si no toda, la era Cenozoica. Between 11,000 and 8,000 years ago, activity was more intense than it is today. [39]​ Se produjeron posibles erupciones en torno a 1730, 1750, 1780 y en 1803. Esto fue seguido por dos flujos de lava separados por una capa de ceniza intermedia, conocida como la capa de ceniza de Pahala: el antiguo basalto de Kahuka, escasamente expuesto por la parte baja de la ruptura suroeste, y el basalto Kaʻu el cual es más reciente, mucho más extendido y con amplia presencia en el volcán. Aunque el trayecto de varios días fue arduo, los antiguos hawaianos probablemente visitaron la cumbre del Mauna Loa durante las erupciones para dejar ofrendas y oraciones en honor a Pele, tanto como lo hicieron en Halemaʻumaʻu, la caldera más activa y accesible del Kilauea. «National Register Information System». [77], The next successful ascent was made on January 29, 1834 by the Scottish botanist David Douglas, who also reached the summit caldera using the ʻAinapō Trail. [31]​, Mauna Loa es lo suficientemente alto como para haber experimentado glaciación durante la última edad de hielo, hace 25 000 a 15 000 años. At about 6,000 feet (1,800 m) elevation they established a camp called "Sunday Station" at the edge of the forest. [41]​[49]​ Combining the volcano's extensive submarine flanks (5,000 m (16,400 ft) to the sea floor) and 4,170 m (13,680 ft) subaerial height, Mauna Loa rises 9,170 m (30,085 ft) from base to summit,[2][19] greater than the 8,848 m or 29,029 ft[20] elevation of Mount Everest from sea level to its summit. Christmas Day was spent building rock walls around the camp to give some protection from the high winds and blowing snow. [34]​ En 1859 se registró el más grande de los tres flujos históricos que se centraron en el flanco noroeste del Mauna Loa, produciendo un largo río de lava que alcanzó el mar en la costa oeste de la isla de Hawái, al norte de la bahía de Kiholo. In February of that year Menzies, two ships' mates, and a small group of native Hawaiian attendants attempted a direct course for the summit from Kealakekua Bay, making it 26 km (16 mi) inland by their reckoning (an overestimation) before they were turned away by the thickness of the forest. Sin embargo, los fuertes vientos hicieron tanto ruido que no se podía escuchar el tictac del reloj, y causaron variaciones en la temperatura resultando en mediciones inexactas. Mauna Loa is a REALLY tall and big mountain. Desde 1912 ha sido intensamente vigilado por el Observatorio Vulcanológico de Hawái. and Lockwood, J. P.

[32], Mauna Loa is slumping eastward along its southwestern rift zone, leveraging its mass into Kīlauea and driving the latter eastward at a rate of about 10 cm (4 in) per year; the interaction between the two volcanoes in this manner has generated a number of large earthquakes in the past, and has resulted in a significant area of debris off of Kīlauea's seaward flank known as the Hilina Slump. Stratovolcanoes are shaped the way they are because they are formed by alternating layers of lava and pyroclastic material, both of which have a higher viscosity, and thus a greater resistance to flow than the basalt-only … STRONG THUNDERSTORMS OVER WINDWARD PORTIONS OF MAUNA LOA SLOPES. [76], The Hawaiian Islands were the site of fervent missionary work, with the first group of missionaries arrived at Honolulu in 1820 and the second in 1823. Gordon A. Macdonald & Douglass H. Hubbard (24 de marzo de 2006). [60]​, Construido en el Kilauea en 1912, el Observatorio Vulcanológico de Hawái (HVO) —actualmente una rama del Servicio Geológico de Estados Unidos— es la principal organización asociada con la supervisión, observación y estudio de los volcanes de Hawái. [45], Although volcanic eruptions in Hawaiʻi rarely produce casualties (the only direct historical fatality due to volcanic activity on the island occurred at Kīlauea in 1924, when an unusually explosive eruption hurled rocks at an onlooker), property damage due to inundation by lava is a common and costly hazard. Su tienda se encontraba a 18 m de la orilla del cráter, segurada por bloques de lava. [42]​, Erupciones en el Mauna Loa están casi siempre precedidas y acompañadas de episodios prolongados de actividad sísmica. [43]​ La erupción de 1984 casi llegó a la ciudad, pero se detuvo después de que se logró desviar el flujo lava. Wilkes decided to spend the winter in Hawaii and take the opportunity to explore its volcanoes while waiting for better weather to continue the expedition. Mauna Loa is said to be the largest volcano in the world. [26] The northeastern rift zone takes the form of a succession of cinder cones, the most prominent of which the 60 m (197 ft) high Puu Ulaula, or Red Hill. [12] The oldest volcano on the island, Kohala, is more than a million years old,[13] and Kīlauea, the youngest, is believed to be between 300,000 and 600,000 years of age. [72]​[73]​, En 1778 James Cook fue el primer europeo en tocar tierra en la isla de Hawái y regresó a la isla en 1779. It also reaches 3100 feet below sea level. However, while the H… cut into a rock at the site. [26]​, Mauna Loa tiene interacciones complejas con sus vecinos, Hualalai al oeste, Mauna Kea al norte, y en particular Kilauea al este. «The Southwestern Rift Zone of Mauna Kea: Implications for Structural Evolution of Hawaiian Volcanoes». After another full day's hike they established "Flag Station" on December 22, and by this time were on the ʻAinapō Trail. [62], Established on Kīlauea in 1912, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO), presently a branch of the United States Geological Survey, is the primary organization associated with the monitoring, observance, and study of Hawaiian volcanoes. A few hundred feet below its neighbor Mauna Kea, this mountain has an entirely different character. Sometimes we have questions about: “How tall is mauna loa?” At the moment, 05.01.2020, we have next information/answer: 1,69m. La mayoría de los porteros fueron enviados de vuelta para traer otra carga. Ulawun • [16] Mauna Loa’s recent eruption was in 1984 and is certain to erupt again. [31]​ La existencia de fallas profundas es una característica común de los volcanes de Hawái, una característica que ocasionó el deslizamiento gradual de gran parte de sus flancos y la formación de estructuras topográficas como la depresión de Hilina y las antiguas colinas de Ninole. Mauna Loa has made cost damage go up to the millions.It is approximately twice the height of Mt. [36] The 1926 eruption in particular is noteworthy for having inundated of a village near Hoʻōpūloa, destroying 12 houses, a church, and a small harbor. Dos secciones del volcán —la zona de Naalehu, y el flanco sureste de la zona de ruptura de Mauna Loa— están protegidas de flujos de lava por la topografía local, y por lo tanto recibieron la designación de «nivel 6». [51]​[52]​, El Mauna Loa quedó inactivo desde 1984, el periodo de inactividad más largo en su historia registrada. [61] A more recent example of the risks associated with slumps occurred in 1975, when the Hilina Slump suddenly lurched forward several meters, triggering a 7.2 Mw  earthquake and a 14 m (46 ft) tsunami that killed two campers at Halape. It is sometimes reported that the missionary Joseph Goodrich reached the summit around this time, but he never claimed this himself, though he did summit Mauna Kea and describe Mokuʻāweoweo with the aid of another telescope. [41], Mauna Loa's 1942 eruption occurred only four months after the attack on Pearl Harbor and the United States' entry into World War II, and created a unique problem for the wartime United States. The historic ʻAinapō Trail fell into disuse, and was reopened in the 1990s. Además, gran parte de la montaña es invisible incluso bajo el agua: su masa causa una depresión de la corteza debajo de ella con una profundidad adicional de 8 km que tiene la forma de una montaña inversa. Originating from the volcano's southwestern rift zone, the eruption remains the largest rift event in the volcano's modern history, lasting 23 days, emitting 376 million cubic meters of lava, and reaching 24 km (15 mi) the ocean within 3 hours. Sakurajima • [35] In addition to the summit and rift zones, Mauna Loa's northwestern flank has also been the source of three historical eruptions. En Sunday Station, dos guías se unieron a ellos: Keaweehu («el cazador de pájaros»), y otro que llamaron «Ragsdale», cuyo nombre hawaiano no fue registrado. [76], Menzies made a third attempt to summit Mauna Loa in February 1794. [87], Volcano on the island of Hawaii in Hawaii, United States, Mauna Loa's summit, overlaid with 100 m (328 ft), CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (. Eric C. Cannon, Roland Bürgmann, & Susan E. Owen (2001). Mauna Loa • The Pāhala ashes themselves were produced over a long period of time circa 13 to 30 thousand years ago, although heavy vitrification and interactions with post and pre- creation flows has hindered exact dating. El 14 de diciembre contrató a cerca de 200 cargadores, pero se dio cuenta de que solo podían llevar la mitad del equipo, por lo que tuvo que contratar a cargadores hawaianos adicionales a costos más altos. Scientists a… [30]​, Mauna Loa se está desplomando hacia el este a lo largo de la zona de ruptura del suroeste, acarreando su masa contra la de Kilauea y moviendo este último hacia el este a una velocidad de unos 10 cm por año; esta interacción entre los dos volcanes generó una serie de grandes terremotos en el pasado, y resultó en un significativo área de residuos a lo largo del flanco marino de Kilauea, conocido como la «Depresión de Hilina» (Hilina Slump). However, analysis of the chemical composition of lavas from the two volcanoes show that they have separate magma chambers, and are thus distinct. Sin embargo, en el segundo día de camino la ruta se hizo más pronunciada, y bloqueado por «marañas impenetrables», y el grupo se vio obligado a abandonar su intento y regresar a la bahía de Kealakekua, calculando que habían «penetrado 24 millas y suponemos dentro de los 11 kilómetros de la cima»; en realidad, Mokuʻaweoweo se encontró a solo 32 km (20 mi) al este de la bahía, una sobreestimación severa por parte de Ledyard.
